Why are you using XCreateWindow()? Why not create a Canvas object
within a regular XForms Form?
If you really need it, there is raw Window support in XForms. See
section B.2 in the manual for details.

Dunno.

I suppose so. There's nothing much in fl_addto_selected_xevent()
other than Xlib calls.
> 3). Is the Q overflow message coming from X11? or from xforms?
XForms. There's a limited putback event queue buffer and moving the
mouse without disposing of the MotionNotify events may be causing it
to overflow.

See above.
I'm not sure how IRIX handles MotionNotify events in contrast to
Linux. It may be that IRIX is doing some sort of event compression
that is causing the intermediate MotionNotify events to get tossed.
I've noted in some of my drawing applications something of that
nature. You can use XChangeWindowAttributes() to set whether you want
all the MotionNotify events by setting or removing
PointerMotionHintMask from the Window's event mask.
